Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Poirot decides to take the Orient Express which at this time makes its route practically
empty. The next morning, when he wakes up, he discovers that an American named
Ratcher has been murdered. The murderer is undoubtedly one of the occupants,
including a haughty Russian princess and an English governess. Poirot has been present
when Jane spoke of getting rid of her husband, and has even been asked to help her get
a divorce. Just after midnight, a snowstorm stopped the Orient Express on its way. The
luxurious train was surprisingly full for the time of year. But at the end of the night there
was one less passenger. An American lay dead in his cabin, stabbed a dozen times and
with the door locked from the inside.
